Plot Summary:Nina's first collaboration with her sister Tinka Menkes, the film documents, in a strange and beautiful way, a serious illness suffered by Tinka, and also expresses how art is a transformative response to life. In the movie, Tinka plays Nina--not for the last time. A SOFT WARRIOR was selected as one of the top first UCLA projects, and was also presented at FILMEX, and many other film festivals.
Nina在UCLA拍的super8胶片作品，她自己亲手做的场景布置，拍的妹妹生病的故事以及自己和妹妹的关系。这也是Nina和妹妹Tinka第一次合作，也是未来大概十五年合作的开端。声音和画面的结合非常有趣，红色充斥画面显得非常radical，从这个短片就看到未来Nina的作品风格。
